“If you're looking to hire within healthcare informatics -- from analysts to executives -- don't waste your time elsewhere. Although there are certainly bigger shops out there, they aren't staffed with a physician (!) who has deep understanding of informatics and the underlying analytics -- and with this, he can find you the best people.”
— Michael Cousins, Cigna
“Besides being an astute business and healthcare professional, David is a great person. He's genuine, has a great sense of humor, great vision about our industry; he's honest, selfless, and has an incredibly gifted eye for talent. He was absolutely critical-- an indispensable partner to me-- during the turnaround of the IT department at Northwestern. And when I use the term "partner" I mean it quite literally. Many of the people he helped me hire for the turnaround have now moved on from Northwestern and progressed their careers into positions of leadership across the US. I am deeply grateful for his contributions to my success as a CIO"
